We went to the doctor and had a wonderful ultrasound!!!  We saw the spine, heart, brain, nose, mouth, legs... and that it is a GIRL!!!  No more calling the baby: it, the baby, or our kid!  The sonographer tried to see the sex of the baby first off, but apparently we have a modest little gymnast.  She kept moving everywhere.  Her favorite move is anything twirling or spinning as long as her knees are tightly pressed together.  We are now going through names to see what ones we like the best.  

Our trip to St. George!!!

We were able to go to St. George for Labor Day weekend and stay with Aunt Bev and Uncle Al.  They are such great people and we had a great time. We were able to go down at the same time John and Jen Babcock were going down with their family.  

We started our trip on Saturday in Goblin Valley.  It's such a unique and wonderful place.  We enjoyed walking through the mounds of hardened mud.  John and Jen's kids loved it.

We got to Uncle Al's and Aunt Bev's Saturday night and had a nice time talking before bed.  Sunday was relaxing with church, lots of talking, and two dinners (just as it turned out).  We also celebrated John Babcock's birthday.  It was great.

Monday was also very relaxing.  We had a leasurely morning and spent a lot of time at the swimming pool.  It was great fun.  

Our Baby is Growing!

We are so happy to have the beginnings of our wonderful family grow! We don't know yet if our baby is a boy or girl, but we think it might be a boy.  Just a feeling we have.  Consequently, we are thinking more about boy name's than girl names.  We want the name to be manly (if a boy), to have character and a connection to family history. These are some names we thought of:

Kevin Fox Babcock (Fox is Michael's paternal grandmothers maiden name)

Edward Dale Babcock (Edward and Dale are Sarah's grandfather's names)

Bradley Fox Babcock

Jackson Fox Babcock

Aden Fox Babcock

Jaden Edward Babcock

Jackson Edward Babcock (Michael's paternal grandfather went by Jack in his early years)

We find out the sex of the baby on the 15th of September!  Maybe one of these names will be our little boy's name!  We also have some girl names, but the list is much less developed and 'gone over.'

Abigail Hannah Babcock

Ellie Barbru Babcock (Barbru is a big time family name for Sarah's family)

Adeline Eve Babcock

Katelynn Erma Babcock (Erma is Sarah's paternal grandmother's name)

Sabie-Jane Babcock (Sabie is Sarah's maternal grandmothers maiden name and Jane is Michael's mothers name)

I guess we'll just have to be patient and see what we are having.
